Nishine Lure Works BQ Frog

Nishine Lure Works BQ Frog

After years of meticulous development, Hiroshi has crafted the BQ Frog—a revolutionary topwater lure that bridges the gap between accessibility and elite performance. This North American premiere follows the success of the BQ Otama and represents a breakthrough in frog lure design. The BQ Frog delivers the precision, responsiveness, and control that seasoned anglers expect, yet remains intuitive enough for newcomers to master. Best of all, it performs exceptionally without requiring specialized frog-specific equipment, making it an essential addition to any serious angler's arsenal.

BQ Frog Introduction – 1

Six color options are available—three natural patterns and three painted colors.

BQ Frog Introduction – 2 — Concept

The BQ Frog was developed with two key objectives:

1. Extremely easy to use

2. Exceptional hook-up ability

The lure delivers effortless walk-the-dog action and achieves a 90%+ hookup ratio when bass fully inhale it. Every component and detail has a purpose behind it. This performance level required more than five years of refinement.

BQ Frog Introduction – 3 — Action

The BQ Frog responds instantly to rod input, producing a sharp, quick walk-the-dog motion—even in tight spaces such as weed pockets.

Its unique action comes from three design elements:

• A compact, wide, flat body that spins easily

• Low-centered internal weights that act as a rotation axis

• An upward-positioned tying wire that consistently initiates side-to-side sliding

These features produce aggressive strikes, which increase the likelihood of fish fully inhaling the lure—critical for frog fishing.

Why the BQ Frog hooks so well:

1. Compact body → easier for fish to inhale

2. Attractive action → triggers aggressive bites

BQ Frog Introduction – 4 — Special Dual-Mode Function

The BQ Frog can easily switch between two modes:

• Normal Mode: Open Water → Light Cover

• Heavy Cover Mode: Light Cover → Heavy Cover

Switching is simple and can be done on the water:

• Pull out the weight → Normal Mode

• Push in the weight → Heavy Cover Mode

This versatility helps anglers adapt instantly to changing cover conditions.

BQ Frog Introduction – 5 — Vent Slit System

The BQ Frog features a new type of vent system that works like a one-way valve. It opens only when a fish compresses the lure, allowing air and water to escape instantly.

Benefits:

• Minimal water intrusion → no need to squeeze water out

• Hollow body collapses more easily during a bite

• Significantly improves hook-up ratio

This vent design was the final breakthrough in BQ Frog’s development—an idea that took years to perfect.
